How do you collaborate with others?
Physical Therapy programs are looking for candidates that are strong collaborators. You will be collaborating with your fellow PT students as you progress through the program. Answer the question with an example that highlights your communication skills and your ability to take the initiative. The STAR method is an excellent approach to this question.
"For me, strong communication skills are essential for collaboration. When I was a Resident Assistant in college, I had to collaborate frequently with the other RAs in my complex to ensure that we were fulfilling our requirements and meeting our students' needs. I set up a group chat for all the RAs at the beginning of the school year to stay on the same page. I also think that having each other's back is very important when collaborating. I would offer to switch weekend shifts and help out with other floors' bulletin boards."
